Desserts prepared with the use of skimmed milk and CC malt
showed a higher consistency coefficient (K) and thixotropic area
(AT) in comparison to the control dessert. However, the addition of
other malts (especiallyMMand PA) caused the decrease of K and AT
values and the increase of the flow index (lower consistency and
overall rheological properties). The values for AT of the desserts
containing malts and both types of milk were similar (Table 2).
Tarrega and Costell (2006b) found a similar behaviour in the case of
desserts obtained with inulin. Textural studies of desserts produced
using malts and both types of milk confirmed the results of the
rheological determinations (Table 3). Desserts containing whole
milk exhibited higher hardness and adhesiveness than products
containing skimmed milk. The presence of 1 g malt/100 g dessert
decreased the hardness and adhesiveness in most of the products
except for the samples containing CC and CB malts (no statistically
significant differences between the test and the control desserts,
Table 3).
